ELLIOTT SADLER QUOTES:

"With Josh (Browne, team director) back on the pit box, our team is at
full strength. We had a good test at Las Vegas. The track is definitely
different, but I think we adapted quickly during the test and have a good
handle on making our Dodge Charger fast. The key will be getting the car
balanced and handling on the new surface. That will be our focus in
practice. We have plenty of data from the test for a baseline. Now we
will use that data to prepare the car for the race. It's the
UAW/DaimlerChrysler 400 and I'm excited to run our Dodge Charger with
the race logo on the hood. Getting the No. 19 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge
Charger to victory lane is our objective."
